Anyone with a touchtunes account?

[abispac]

So a friend of mine, wants to buy one of those nice virtuo touchtunes jukebox, just to use it in his man cave, as i allready know, there a few jukes for  sale in ebay, but they wont sell them if you are not a touchtunes operator. My friend wants to use that with etouch on it, to be able to play tunes without touchtunes a account, so i wonder if its posible for someone with a touchtunes operator license that can help buy one of those jukes. Thanks for any info and help offered.

your bud's problem's note the 's
is alot worse then just buying the box..
a=it must be subbed to touchtunes
b=account must stay current >15-20< days
c=they retain control of the s/w in the box,because it is server bound >there server<
d=your base fee is $29.00 and up depending on the account u have
e=there control unit is usless without there server
f=if there is an outstanding balance? on the same said unit.? touchtunes will lock it out

your bud is better off using 1 of the many free s/w's for jukebox's out there
and building his own..

and yes before anyone care's to slam me i have 7 touchtune jukebox's in bar's right now
i am not olny the route op i am also the repair tech..

I would think that what the OP is trying to do would get the operator in big legal trouble with Touchtunes.

[abispac]

So english its my second lenguage and sometimes i have a hard time understanding, lets see if i understand.
So what ed12 its trying to tell me its:
Cant buy an used equipment on ebay because it must be pretty much loked due to maybe the old operator owns money to touchtunes?
and
Dont know if ed12 understood me, we just want the virtuo to gut it and instal our own soft (etouch) in it.

And what Ken says, its that the seller on ebay wants to screw someone...

Am i right? 

[ed12]

u perty much got it..
what i said,is the reason the seller's want's a person to take ownership
is because there is an out standing bill with touchtunes.
read the page i posted on there written agrement with the operator
and any other questions can be answered by  going to touchtunes
go to dashboard >u do not need to login in< ,just go to that page and scrool down
u will see all the legal stuff.

on a side note here why wont the seller sell it without the computer anyway's ?
not like it can  take native windows/linux..the mbr and account info/song list >up to 2000<,
are all that is on it.

lord if he is gonna gut it,the operator would do themselfs a fav and hang on to the power-supply,computer,ict bill adapter,coin mech.

I have not seen one of those jukes in real life,  just on ebay ads, so im not sure if they use a regular computer that cab be wiped out and install windows 7 in it, but i imagine ict bill aceptor and coin mech can be used, as i dont think they will need any special programing. Would you happen to have a  virtuo juke in your collection ed 12? so you can confirm my thoughts

as i have been trying to explain to u
no u cannot load it with windows or linux there is 2 chip's on that gen4 that require it to be
touchtunes.
or the unit will not boot

If I had one of those, I'd gut it and mod it with my own hardware. Looks like a fun project.

We can rebuild [it]. We have the technology. We can make [it] better than [it] was. Better...stronger...faster.

I think the bare basic unit would be an apple tv, wifi router with NAS or USB connected to budget conscious hdmi tv and a power strip.  Add in some sound reactive lights and you have a nice little knock off.

Or

A tv with android on a stick, but you get my meaning.

You are missing the point he is going to put his own computer in there.. Not sure if he could get drivers for that touchscreen as I don't know who makes those.

I told him he would probably be easier making his own cab to look like that it's not a complicated design and should be pretty easy to make a replica.

@ed12

Can you post some interior shots that show how much volume is inside one of those units?  I wonder what the dimensions are of all of those white boxes.

In the mean time, I'm gonna look for a manual.

[ed12]

if it is there i will sang the pdf for ya

Thanks I found the following:
http://productwarranty.touchtunes.com/display/TD/900475-001+Virtuo+Installation+and+Setup+Guide

Looking for some interior photos to know how the crammed all that functionality into that small of a space.

hi
what u normaly see,if u went the way i explained is a edited verision of the unit's pdf's.
i will go into my dashboard control and see if i can find it.
at my warehouse i have a nsm conv. wall box,it is about the same size give or take
an inch or 2.
when these go together >gen3< they are tight
with the amp/computer/powersupply,alone take up the full back wall
let me see what i can do

[lilshawn]

just commenting so i can follow...

think of it like a cellphone. you can "own the phone" but you can't use it with any other provider. that in a nutshell is touchtunes.

in reality, if you buy a machine and not activate it within 90 days, they charge you anyways.

[ed12]

100% corect
unless u send them back the id module
and control unit >computer<..
in gen3's the id module is a little black box interface between the uhf remote and the jukebox in question,most ppl do not understand this point...
the id in there terms is the "key"..they want it and the control unit back

on to the other question i was asked
inside 22"wx29"hx9" deep
perty tight realastate

I concur.  That manual is quite detailed in case anyone has questions.  The only thing is the pictures are a bit dark with everything being black/blue in there.
